So I've had the unfortunate experience of watching the Food Network lately. I've mentioned how increasingly absurd their competition shows are while having only one real theme.

But then on Giada de whatever's show, she was making asian food all show. Like, I get it, there's only so much Italian food but for christ, really? Have all the shows with people who know what they're talking about totally lost focus in favor of bullshit pioneer woman cooks crap? And I noticed that when doing the very delicate handwork on making the dumplings, there was some very clever camera work as a close-up on her hands but! They were completely indistinguishable from any other white woman's hands... coincidence--or coincidence.

A fantasy is when you have an unlimited supply of sodium alginate, a couple dozen oysters, and too much free time.
I have to say, there is nothing quite like that sinking feeling you get after you've shaved the last slice of truffle.

I got lunch at Mirazur, Menton today and all was going fine until the John Dory arrived: skin was impenetrable by knife and the flesh did not separate from the skin. I had to saw off the flesh to eat it. Please correct me, but to me that's the sign of a poorly cooked fish?

I wanted to complain but the waiter just quickly whisked the plate away after a hurried "Did you enjoy the fish?" How do you express your disapproval when they ask leading questions that they don't even care what the answer is?
